Many NFL teams are facing upcoming deadlines in regarding where their training camp sites will be held due to the ongoing lockout. Some have them in their practice facility, but many have them offsite at nearby colleges.

The Minnesota Vikings released a statement Wednesday discussing the deadline to have their camp at Minnesota State University.

“The Minnesota Vikings continue preparations for hosting the team's 2011 training camp at Minnesota State University, Mankato. In respect to the University and the Mankato community, we have informed school officials that July 18 is the latest date to officially determine whether having training camp at Minnesota State University this year is feasible. The Vikings will maintain contact with University officials moving forward, and we remain hopeful we will practice in front of thousands of Vikings fans in Mankato later this summer.”

NFL players apparently have too much time on their hands during the lockout.

According to ABC 7 in Chicago, NFL attorneys are investigating a porn event ad (hat tip to Profootballtalk.com) that features multiple current NFL players for an event from last month in Miami.

The players are viewed in the ad in game action with their uniforms on.

"The NFL office works on behalf of the clubs to protect their intellectual property rights in matters such as this," said NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy after receiving a copy of the ad from the TV station.

As you can see from the ad, it features Kansas City Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers and S Eric Berry, Chicago Bears S Major Wright, Houston Texans CB Kareem Jackson and Oakland Raiders WR Jacoby Ford as “hosts” of the party along with three rookies.

"Our legal team is reviewing the ad. In general, companies not affiliated with the NFL or its clubs may not depict a player in his uniform" said McCarthy.

According to the report, police in Gwinnett County, Georgia responded to a burglary call. But not only did they find damage to LaTia Terry’s apartment, it appeared that beach was thrown on to jewelry, clothing and pictures.

Sources told TMZ that the former couple had a heated argument over the child custody arrangement.

The report also states that Terry obtained a restraining order, but the defensive back has yet to be charged with anything.

Owens, who was selected in the third round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Falcons, has two years left on his rookie contract. His contract carries base salaries of (2011) $480,000 and (2012) $565,000.

Owens was a pleasant surprise for the Falcons during his rookie season by starting six games and participating in just over 31 percent of the defensive snaps. However, after being unable to beat out veteran CB Brian Williams for the nickel job last season, Owens’ playing time dipped by four percent and he only started three games.

The Buffalo Bills are trying to the make the game day experience more enjoyable.

The team announced Tuesday two changes to their Fan Behavior policy that will take place for the 2011 season.

In order to become more in line with the NFL’s recommendation for stadiums opening their parking lots, the Bills lots will now open four hours prior to kickoff. In previous years, the lots opened five hours prior to kickoff.

Last year the organization began closing the lots two hours after the game concluded and that element of the policy will remain intact for 2011.

The second change really makes sense when you look at the landscape across the United States in recent years in regard to cigarette smoke. The majority of fans clearly want to have a smoke free environment on game day.

And with that, the team is making Ralph Wilson Stadium a smoke-free facility. There will no longer be designated smoking areas as in past years. This change will take effect beginning with the new uniform unveiling ceremony later this month.

“We have listened to the vast majority of our fans who want to enjoy the game day experience in a smoke-free facility and we wanted to notify all of our fans well in advance of our first home game of this change in our Fan Behavior Policy. It is important that everyone understands that there will be zero tolerance on this element of our policy,” Bills CEO Russ Brandon said.

The Bills Re-Entry Policy states that when a fan leaves the stadium he/she is not permitted back in. In simple terms, if a fan leaves the stadium to smoke, he/she cannot gain entrance back into the facility.

Bills officials are planning for additional signage to the fact that the stadium is now a smoke-free facility.

The Bills organization is also currently working with law enforcement agencies to change some of the game day traffic patterns to improve the egress process for fans leaving the stadium both in terms of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Bills officials plan to make those announcements at a date closer to the opening of the 2011 season.

According to the Washington Post, Washington Redskins WR Santana Moss has been sued for defaulting on a lease for his dry cleaning business.

The dry cleaning business, according to the report, was operated by member of Moss’s family. In the suit, Stadium Corners Shopping Center LLC is asking for over $300,000, which includes over $24,000 in back rent, plus accelerated rent and court and attorney’s fees.

Moss, whose three years remaining on his contract will void at the start of the new league year, was to earn $1.192 million in base salary for 2011.

In what could be a signal of good news on the labor front, the Baltimore Ravens have extended the contracts of their assistant coaches, NFL.com reported.

It’s significant because many assistants around the NFL had their paychecks slashed by 25 percent because of the ongoing labor uncertainty. The Ravens, however, could have decided to extend the contracts of the assistant coaches based on the recent positive talks between both sides, which could signal that the work stoppage finally could end soon.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh signed a three-year extension earlier this year through the 2014 season, and now he’ll have his assistants alongside him for two more seasons.

Despite turning 35 earlier this month and not being under contract for the 2011 season, veteran RB Kevin Faulk has no plans to retire.

Faulk, who was selected by the New England Patriots in the second round of the 1999 NFL Draft, suffered a serious knee injury during a Week 2 game last season against the host New York Jets.

”That word (retirement) is not in my vocabulary right now,” Faulk told the Boston Herald. ”If it’s possible, if (the Patriots) allow me to, I’d like to play another season.”

The problem for Faulk is that the team selected two running backs in this year’s draft, so depth at the position is no longer a problem. But Faulk was always one of head coach Bill Belichick’s favorite players, so a return for his 13th season with the team shouldn’t be dismissed.

With the release of veteran WR Plaxico Burress from jail earlier this week, speculation has been running rampant about where he might wind up playing this season.

FOXSports.com and the New York Daily News reported that the Philadelphia Eagles were interested in Burress, but no local reports had stated the same thing – until now.

In fact, the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane said last week via his Twitter account that all of the interest in Burress possibly playing for the Eagles was coming from his side, and not from the team.

“One more thing on Plaxico. All this talk about the #Eagles being interested is coming from Plax's people, not the #Eagles. Trust me on this,” McLane said.

However, McLane apparently has different information this week.

“Re: Plaxico Burress and the #Eagles. Spoke to several team sources and there's certainly interest there. But no decision will be made until they can meet face to face with him,” he said.

No team can work out or talk to Burress until the lockout is over, so it’s hard to get a gauge on what kind of shape he’s in.

The talented Britt was arrested Wednesday in Hoboken, New Jersey, according to the Jersey Journal – just one day after he pleaded guilty to careless driving stemming from an incident in April.

According to the report, Britt was arrested by narcotics officers and charged with two counts of resisting arrest.

According to the complaint, Britt "did purposely prevent or attempt to prevent a public servant from lawfully performing an official function by means of force or violence, specifically by refusing to open your hand when ordered to do so then pulling your hand away."

Britt, who has been involved in several off-the-field incidents since the team selected him in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft, could be subject to a suspension under the personal conduct policy once the lockout is over.

Britt is clearly one of the NFL's most talented players at his position, but unless he straightens up soon, he’ll have a much shorter career than expected.

While the NFL lockout continues, teams are reshaping their front offices.

Eliot Wolf, who is entering his eighth season with the Green Bay Packers in 2011, has been named assistant director of player personnel, the team announced.

Wolf, the son of former Packers executive Ron Wolf, served as assistant director of pro personnel for the past three seasons after working as a pro personnel assistant for his first four seasons with the Packers. He originally joined the organization on Feb. 26, 2004.

Wolf’s primary duties have included scouting teams in the NFL and doing in-season advance scouting of upcoming Packers opponents. He also is involved with college scouting during the offseason and is very active with the Packers draft.

“Eliot is an important part of our personnel staff,” executive vice President, general manager and director of football operations Ted Thompson said. “Over the years, his responsibilities and duties have continued to grow. His contributions to our efforts in pro scouting have been tremendous, and he has taken on more in the college scouting and draft preparations. We believe this adjustment is an appropriate recognition of his continued growth within our personnel group.”
